27:12-26 Mount Gerizim lies just west of Mount Ebal (27:4), and Shechem lies in the valley between (see 11:29; Josh 8:30-35). • proclaim a blessing: The tribes or their representatives were carefully placed so that as the Levites (Deut 27:14) read the covenant from the valley below, the other tribes antiphonally proclaimed their adherence to its terms by shouting Amen, a Hebrew term that means “May it be so.”
